Magnificent Wine Tour To Learn About Marlborough Wines

Chris does such an incredible wine tour, I can't imagine anyone not having a good time. He made an entirely customised experience for us by asking what we liked, what we wanted to get out of the tour and also asking if we're open to learning more.

Chris KNOWS the region, he knows the wines, the vintages, the vineyards and the staff at the wineries, so everyone is so patient and great that you come into contact with.

Having done a few wine tours, this one was by far the most personalised, the most informative, and the most VIP experience we've had. Chris is so entertaining and thoughtful, I recommend this experience for anyone.

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative afternoon.

The whole afternoon was fabulous. Chris was a fount of information on our journey between vineyards and organized to stop at wineries that suited our taste. He clearly has a great rapport with the cellar door people which means you get the benefit of that. The lunch at Saint Clair was a nice relaxed way to start the tour.

Fantastic day out with very knowledgeable guide

I cannot speak highly enough of this wine tour. I have done several guided tours in a number of wine regions throughout the world and this was the best experience I have had. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and puts in a great deal of effort and thought to planning your trip to appropriate wineries. I cannot recommend him highly enough and if you are going to do a wine tour in Blenheim this is the one to choose.

The tour to end all tours

What a magnificent day out! Chris opened our eyes to a whole new world of wine with his extensive knowledge of wines and his brilliant commentary on the history of the region and its wine production. If you are in Blenheim and thinking about a wine tour then here is the must do tour! I feel I could go back and do it all over again and the experience would be just as enjoyable and I would again increase my knowledge of wine and the region. Brilliant value for money led by an exceptional tour guide with a superb personality and a great sense of humour to compliment his knowledge of wine.

Highly recommended if you are looking for an experienced, knowledgable, wine qualified guide to the wineries of Blenheim.

We had an excellent day out with Chris and Na Clachan Wine Tours.

In the past, we've found our own way around the wineries in Blenheim, but decided this time to go with someone who knows the area. Best decision we could have made.

Chris started by asking which wine styles we were interested in tasting. He then decided which wineries would best show off those wine styles and that became our itinerary for the day - although he was constantly listening to our feedback on the wines we were tasting and considering alternative options. This suited us down to the ground, since it definitely meant we visited wineries we simply wouldn't have considered otherwise.

His commentary throughout the day on the history and story of the area and its wines was also spot on - just the right information at the right time, and able to delve deeper on any subject when we wanted it.

All and all, it was an excellent day. We would highly recommend you consider Na Clachan if you're reading these reviews in order to make your own decision. We will definitely seek him out again in the future and are already recommending him to family and friends.
